This is the general idea - actually, it's for two related reasons:

1. To make it easier to make packages (linux or osx), as we can
statically link mzscheme, the binary extensions and scheme modules into
the fluxus scratchpad app and release packages which don't require plt
scheme.

2. To make it possible to use fluxus to create downloadable
games/applications which don't require any dependancies at all - i.e.
all libs are static linked in to the scratchpad, which then gets
released as a standalone binary. 

cheers,
